Grow With In-App Purchases

89. Suspiciously good general store (4)

A magic wand that Bain didn’t let go of when he was eating tteokbokki.

Her gaze follows my fingers to the wand.

“Yes, I have to return it.”

“……”

Baine couldn’t pay for the wand.

So, it is natural to return it.

“I know what that feels like. I couldn’t sleep because it flickered in my eyes when I was buying weapons from you.”

Shine sympathized with Baine’s behavior of not willingly giving out his magic wand.

“I think I know what it feels like. It shimmers before my eyes, my heart races. It must feel like my flesh is being ripped off.”

Fran also quietly adds a hand to empathy.

“I don’t know… huh.”

Only Ariando pouted his lips gloomily, unable to sympathize.

With everyone watching Baine, she made up her mind and opened her mouth.

“I’ll rent it. Please.”

It was a choice that showed his stubbornness to never let go of what he was holding in his hands.

“Yes, do as you please.”

I knew what kind of obsession the SSR had with its own equipment, so I replied calmly.

Baine smiled brightly at my affirmative answer.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

I didn’t know that I would go to a general store and buy equipment.

It was an impulse buy, but I don’t regret it.

Kkook ㅡ!

As I held the magic wand tightly in my arms, my mind began to calm down.

‘How can something like this exist? Where have you been? You finally came to me.’

As soon as I went out with a friend and returned to the dormitory, I first contacted home.

I was worried about how to pay for this item.

‘It seems very expensive, but I don’t want to give it up.’

It was the first time I felt this kind of feeling because I don’t usually have a big desire for material things.

When I impulsively said I would rent it, I remembered that the boss had told me to do it as if he knew it.

‘I’m embarrassed…’

I couldn’t give up at all, so I couldn’t let go of my greed until the end.

When I told my friends, it seemed that they couldn’t buy it because it was too expensive, and everyone chose to rent it.

The problem is that I hate renting.

I wanted to make a magic wand mine as soon as possible.

‘Fran laughed awkwardly… I wonder if he paid for it on some other terms?’

It would be nice to be able to pay the price in some other way, like francs, rather than asking the house for too much.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to ask Fran separately? I wish I could tell you.’

If it could be solved in a way other than money, I wanted to do that.

“It’s pretty. Oh no…! It’s like this again.”

Gying, Gying.

A subtle vibration felt from the magic wand.

Curiously, the magic wand was warm as if it were alive, and I felt the pulse as if my heart was beating.

The boss didn’t seem to know about this.

At first, I almost misunderstood that he was a strange person to give himself such a harsh thing.

‘You’re glad you met me, are you only doing this to me? You can’t do this to other people.’

The magic wand vibrates once more as if it knew it.

For some reason, the vibration made my stomach quiver.

In fact, I started to feel this way when I held the magic wand in my hand.

Baine’s gaze touched the tip of the magic wand.

The source of the vibrating power must be the round jewel attached to the tip of the magic wand.

gulp!

The blunt and thick guy was seducing himself with an exceptionally shiny look.

“Not yet.”

He spoke softly as if soothing a mischievous child.

Because they hadn’t paid yet.

It wasn’t mine yet, so I couldn’t use the magic wand recklessly.

But maybe I didn’t like my choice?

“Sssss! Ehhh…”

Woo-woo-!

The wand vibrates loudly once more.

A heavy, thick sound.

A magic wand that sticks even when I have a heartache.

I put the magic wand in my arms to soothe it and hugged it tightly.

“Sorry.”

The magic wand fit snugly between the breastbones.

Did you like the hug?

What had been vibrating with a thick sound gradually subsided, and soon only warm warmth and soft thumping vibrations rang intermittently.

I opened my mouth hoping that sincere consolation would work.

“Let’s be patient. I can’t use you carelessly yet. I’d like to…”

Gyiing ㅡ

“Yeah, yeah! You’ve got a heartache, right?”

A magic wand that whines like a child.

Still, it’s so cute.

“It’s no good. I’ve already caused enough trouble.”

This magic wand not only greatly increases abilities, but also greatly reduces the burden on the body and the loss of physical strength when using power.

So, with the magic wand, you will be able to unleash a mess of power as many times as you like.

‘Even if I do that, the aftereffects won’t be long.’

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure of it.

So, I couldn’t possibly return it to the boss.

What if I leave it like this and someone intercepts it?

The problem was that there was nothing to pay right away.

“How fortunate it is that the boss understands me.”

Just when I was disappointed, a miracle happened.

He was able to bring the magic wand without paying anything.

It was thanks to the consideration of the owner of the general store.

In addition, my friends willingly stepped forward, saying that they would guarantee my credit instead.

It was a disgrace to everyone.

I couldn’t give up my greed, so I was stubborn, but I got a lot of help.

“I think you can take me to a new world.”

It reminds me of the days when I continued to fail to grow.

Breaking down the wall of growth was too much work.

No, I thought so.

Even if the wall, which felt so vague, hadn’t collapsed the moment I held the magic wand in my hand.

‘He pierced me coolly.’

The sense of liberation and excitement I felt at that time still lingered in my body and gave me a thrill.

I don’t know where they got these from, but I was surprised by the distribution by the owner of a general store who was willing to sell them to me.

“If you had put it on the auction house, it would have sold for an exorbitant price.”

Of course, if that was the case, we wouldn’t have met each other, so it would have been a tragedy for each other.

Since I met myself through countless cases, wouldn’t it be fate?

“It’s so fortunate? It’s as if you were made for me. Of course, you’re alone.”

A magic wand you custom-made to give to yourself?

It was nonsense.

Who would do such a thing for a student who only attends an academy?

It is said that Shine and Fran received a weapon suitable for them from the general store owner in the same way.

“You’re definitely not an ordinary grocery store owner, are you?”

Whatever his identity, the important thing was to make this object his own.

They say they prefer things over money, so I wanted to get the best things possible so that they would like them.

“I’ll have to ask my mother for help.”

My mother, who is working as an officer on the front line, was frantically working on the battlefield to solve the monster wave.

That’s why I shouldn’t have caused an intrusive problem as much as possible, but today I couldn’t stand the urge and did it.

It was embarrassing, but this time, I was thinking of playing a fool.

It was something I really wanted to have.

Burr-!

“oh!”

Did you even read the desires in your heart?

The magic wand tucked in the middle of his chest vibrated.

It was as if he agreed and said he liked it.

“Ashamed.”

I was embarrassed to think that I had given off a lot of things that I liked so much, but I smiled shyly as I ran my hand through the thick, smooth magic wand.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

When he lent his unique equipment to Bain and left to pay for it, he expected it to take a few days.

From noble mtl dot com

I think I thought that the big money would come in because I think I was thinking more about buying than renting.

‘In the meantime, why didn’t Ariando’s equipment come out like this?’

Only the unique equipment of the wrong SSR character keeps coming out, and Ariando’s equipment keeps rotting inside.

When you’re so broke that you can’t pay anymore until Baine pays for it.

A girl came to our store.

With a magic wand in one hand and a large bundle in the other.

“hello.”

“okay.”

The gorgeous white one-piece dress with lace went well with her milky skin.

Her thick red lips were twitching busily, as if she was embarrassed to face me.

He had rather sharp eyes that would look haughty if he didn’t smile, but he knew that he was a kid who could smile kindly at his friends.

She looked a bit fierce somewhere, but she was a gentle and cute girl that made me smile every time I saw her.

In addition, the magic wand in the girl’s hand…

“Did you grease it?”

Just by looking at it, you could tell how much he had cherished his magic wand.

The magic wand he was holding in his bosom was twinkling and shining.

To the extent that it is blinding.

Baine smiled shyly and nodded.

“Yes. After applying oil and wiping it on a fine silk cloth, they liked it.”

“…okay?”

It didn’t seem strange that Baine was holding the magic wand dearly because he felt (?) mourning while calling his unique equipment baby or wearing his unique equipment and making strange noises.

‘That’s normal enough.’

He shook his head and went inside.

Baine, who was sitting on a chair, put down the large bundle he was holding in one hand on the floor.

thud!

When I put it on the floor, it makes a pretty heavy sound.

Perhaps it was because he was an Awakener, so I didn’t think I should mistake his power for his appearance.

“Is that what you prepared for the magic wand?”

“Yes. You probably don’t think I’m lacking. I’m confident.”

It seems that they chose to buy rather than rent.

I don’t think Baine would have lowered the value of his unique equipment and brought the price of the goods.

“Can I open it?”

“yes.”

I opened the tightly wrapped bag.

Inside was a huge, curled-up scaly hide.

“scales?”

The scales, which looked like the skin of a snake, shimmered transparently.

It looks hard and cold to the touch, but the scales I actually touched were very soft.

“These are the scales on the belly of a basilisk.”

“basilisk…!”

I can see why you said this would be enough.

Basilisks were one of the notorious monsters.

Although there are not many individuals, it was not easy to catch because it has a bad ability to turn all nearby areas into a swamp.

By the way, the swamp area created around it was very toxic, so if you soak your feet unprepared, your flesh could melt right away.

The venom of a basilisk has strong acidity that can melt a person in an instant.

Not only that, it was so big and thick that the attack didn’t work well.

If it was the scales on the belly of such a basilisk, it was a product that noble ladies rushed after.
